Neville: Ronaldo An All Time Great


Manchester United club captain Gary Neville has sensationally declared that Cristiano Ronaldo is as good as anyone he has ever seen in football.

The Portuguese winger has been in sparkling form in England this season, and has already scored 27 times in all competitions. Only last week Ronaldo self-proclaimed that he was the best player in the world, and Neville has now gone a step further in saying that the 23-year-old is as good as anyone he has ever seen. "In terms of entertainment, performance and production, the player that we’re watching now is every bit as good as anything I’ve ever seen," Neville told United Review. "He’s playing on another planet at the moment. "His goals’ tally is exceptional, but the most impressive thing is the appreciation he has for playing in a team. His passing, dribbling and crossing are all carefully selected and completed at the right times." Neville, who has been out injured for 11 months, believes that Old Trafford is an exciting place to be at the moment. "I said at the start of the campaign that United fans should be as excited as they’ve ever been and that’s been proved," he said. "We’ve had the odd blip, but you experience that every year. We’re getting to the business part of the season now, there’s everything to play for."
